Hello!

Kmart shoppers, who have managed to get their hands on the Kmart slow cooker, have scored some laughs for free.

Some eagle-eyed consumers have spotted a rude misprint on the safety warning of the popular $19.00 appliance.

The engraved instructions had one letter out of place, giving a whole new and humourous meaning to the message.

The second “o” in the word “cook” had been replaced with a “c”.

“Caution! To prevent damage or shock hazard do not cook in this liner.”

“Co*k only in container provided. Do not immerse in water.”

And yes, it’s all a bit juvenile but we couldn’t help having a bit of a giggle.

The unfortunate error was shared on a facebook group, with many amused commenters responding with appropriate puns – like calling the pot a “c*ckpot” or saying that Kmart had made a “c*ck up”.

The typo was first shared to a closed Facebook group and people found the mistake rather amusing, with many making pun-tastic jokes, such as “what a c*ck up” and referring to the pot as a “c*ckpot”.

“Does this mean the meat will fall off the bone(r)?” noted one sharp commenter.

Yahoo News Australia has reported that Kmart has fixed the mistake and will not appear on new products. What a pity, we found the whole thing quite amusing.

A Pie Maker Misprint

In a related incident, we recently discovered an amusing typo in the recipe booklet of the super-popular Kmart pie maker. The last recipe on the page read “Chocolate Dam Pet” whereas it should have said Chocolate Damper.

We did actually google “Dam Pet” but it’s probably best we don’t share the results.

When shared on a pie maker group, some commenters were in hysterics.

“I’ve got 3 dam pets myself. Never considered putting them in the pie maker though”, one quipped.

“Maybe damper x crumpet = dam pet?”, another suggested.

  • This reminds me of the time I went to the Asian grocery store where I used to live and got some rice wine that had a misprint in the label, so that it read “Chinese Cocking Wine.”

  • You will find a lot of typos on products. Remember when your children were taught “the spelling doesn’t matter as long as people can tell what it means?”. Starting to show now in a lot of products

  • I have seen typos when out and about – quality control seems lacking at times.

  • I find mistakes everywhere I look – no-one is bothered to proof read anything these days. Must admit it does annoy me and especially the instructions that have to be done 10 times to decipher where the mistake is to do the job properly because the instructions are written back to front.


    • Sometimes I have abandoned instructions and used commonsense because the instructions have not been helpful or understood. One manual came with incorrect pictures!

  • Ha ha, that’s a bit funny.

  • I’m finding the world is full of misprints and typos these days. Nobody proofs anything anymore or runs a simple spell check.

  • I am going to have to start looking closer at things so I get to ave a giggle too
